Rovio is looking into console ports for its popular game Angry Birds, and already has a few in mind that could be a good match for the simple physics game. Eurogamer reports that vice president of franchise development Ville Heijari says they're "looking at every console" to house the game.
The Japan-based entertainment conglomerate is expected to pay about $1 billion for Rovio Entertainment.
If you want to remain relevant you need a mobile powerhouse. MS got Minecraft, maybe King soon, T2 got Zynga, EA got Glu, Tencent got most of the other big ones.
Sony is likely looking for one too or they will be left behind.
Sony already owns the #2 highest grossing mobile game ever in Fate/Grand Order.
That game is close to Genshin Impact levels of monthly revenue.
Well angry birds still makes money so it’s not a dead horse. They just need another hit.
Looks like something MS would grab. I wont be surprised some how ms gets Sega with this included magically.
We could fund more games like Sonic Mania
We could buy the music rights back to Sonic 3
We could reboot some old franchises like Ristar, Shinobi, Gunstar Heroes or Golden Axe
...Nah. Angry Birds it is
Wait, have they even made anything since then? Thought they were a one-hit wonder lol.
I didn't know they did a bunch of stuff prior to Angry Birds:

Pretty much everything since has been a spin off. Now maybe Sega will make Angry Chaos or something similar.
Mojang only made one game and Microsoft still purchased them for $4 billion
Sometimes one property is all you need especially when it’s lucrative
Rovio should be embarrassed over the way it's handled Angry Birds.
Rovio has released a statment saying that Angry Birds popularity means its culling on Android after Thursday 23rd Feb 2023.
Hilarious they see what the market wants, and instead of making more things like that, kills it and is trying to funnel people towards a worse prodcut because GaaS trash makes them more money. Why did they even remake the game and sell it for a buck in the first place then?! The version they're killing hasn't even been out a year.
Also, completely removing from Google Play, but renaming on Apple? Why removing on one and keeping on the other?
People like the simplicity of paying once for a product and never having to give any more, or worry about the intrusion of ads, mtx, subscriptions. Who would've thought? lol.
I imagine that renaming it would make people think it's a knckoff and push them towards their other games. On Android most likely people will just download an APK.
This is why I love Android. You can go to a site like apk mirror and download the apk cracked and install it. Also you can torrent hundreds of Android games so easily. They can pull anything they want off the store I wouldn't care less 🤣
This is why mobile games need to die once and for all. These companies are hilarious. I understand they need to make money but this is just an insult.
Pay for a game u can get for free on ur phone.......,nah F#ck that
Angry Birds for the PS Vita would be great, but like just_sayin said, you can get it free on your phone, unless the console version had ads too and was free. I wouldnt mind that at all.
Isn't Angry Birds already a PSMini? Not sure what else they could do with Angry Birds on the consoles unless they actually do add motion controls.
I hope it goes to console because I had way more fun with Plants VS Zombies on 360 Versus mode is fun
Its a phone game and popular as a PHONE GAME for a reason. Its easy to open it up and play for literally ten or so minutes to waste time. I've not once seen a person sit there and play this game longer than 15 minutes without doing something else at the same time....
Unless they actually develop depth to it. Add online, better levels, more things to do, motion controls, etc...there is no point. However based on their poor PS Mini effort I wouldn't get my hopes up....
